Area of Intrest & Research:

NUMERICAL STUDY OF NEAR FIELD EARTHQUAKE EFFECTS ON DAMS

PROLOGUE

India is a country with around 4500 dams. These include several small, moderate and large dams. Many of them that were built in highly seismic areas are prone to the occurrence of severe earthquakes. The distress caused in many dams by fault displacement, slope failure, piping, tensile failure, permanent deformation etc., makes it necessary to review the behavior of the dam in seismic environment.

Objective:

For the study of behavior of dam in near fault region, the objective of the research work goes with

Evaluating the complete stress distribution in dam body, determining the dynamic response of dam and foundation.

Giving the input ground motion to estimate the motion on surface.

Estimating the amplification at ground & at top of dam body.

Applying the water load on dam and direct earthquake loading.

Non-linear analysis for dams resting on buried faults
